Due to the fact that the snowpass program was no longer working for all of our member ski areas and consumers in a way that it could be managed in a post-pandemic operations environment, the PA 4th – 5th Grade Snowpass program has been eliminated and will no longer be available. Many ski areas have capacity limitations requiring advance sales and reservations that could not accommodate the 4th/5th grade program as it was. We look forward to working with our member ski areas in regard to a new program in the future.
Please check back to see what offers our member ski areas have put together for the upcoming winter.

Kids Programs
Skiing and boarding is a great way to get the kids active in the great outdoors all winter long and develop a life-long passion they can enjoy for years to come. Did you know the best time to teach your child to ski or snowboard is between the ages of 4 and 7? Pennsylvania resorts offer a variety of kid-friendly programs, starting around age three, designed to build self-esteem, while providing a safe and fun learning environment. Programs are based on age and skill level and include single lessons, first-time sessions and month-long adventure camps.
